We don’t use awnings because of roof overhangs. Local architects compute the sun angle for the given location. During the winter you can allow more light in and during the summer when the sun is higher, you can let less light in.

I mean yeah, if you have a big house with large porches / overhangs that'll work. But those are luxury houses which only few people have access to.
